Get answers to common questions about Trigger Point Therapy.

A typical session begins with a brief assessment and discussion of your pain. Therapists apply focused sustained pressure to trigger points, monitor your response, and include targeted stretches and self-care recommendations to maintain results between visits.

Some pressure and brief discomfort are normal as tight knots release, but therapy should not be excessively painful. Communicate with your therapist: we adjust intensity, pace, and techniques to keep you within a tolerable range while maximizing therapeutic benefit.

Frequency varies by condition—acute issues may improve in one or two sessions, while chronic problems often require a series of four to eight treatments. We create a personalized plan and reassess progress to determine ongoing care and maintenance intervals.
